Which is why some states and provinces, like British Columbia, consider helmets a mandatory item for all cyclists regardless of age. |

That was jackass and entirely preventable. It's not like cyclists have effective horns to warn drifting drivers. The motorist was entirely a jackass. I don't see what the problem is. |

Let's see the scuff. |

Because they have been fooled by faulty studies and conned by those who have a financial interest in selling Foam Bicycle Hats? Promoting mandatory helmet laws (MHLs) is ANTI-CYCLIST. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Lesson to Learn: If you're on a bicycle, don't kick a car driven by a person as equally crazy as yourself. ~ |

Sounds like he succeeded. > > Succeeded all too well. Shouldn't "battery" be in there somewhere, too? More like assault with a deadly weapon at the minimum and attempted murder and the max. I saw a African American punch a female (all college aged). I confronted him and told him that was not cool. His friends came up from behind me and jumped me, besides punching me (just had a fat lip) they hit me over the head with a beer bottle (didnt even hurt the next day). I went straight home after ID'ing the perp's, who the cops told me had been arrested for gang activity. The guy who hit me over the head with the beer bottle got misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon (only did 2 weeks in county, but got a restraining order and probation for 3 years). Getting hit over the head with the bottle did less damage then the punch to the mouth, yet he got "assault with a deadly weapon". |
